Residents enjoy 'Highfield Casino'

Did you know our social calendar often includes wine tasting, book clubs and more? The choice depends on the interests of our residents. Back by popular demand, this week our residents have been treated to the Highfield Casino!
 
Several of our residents played Black Jack and Roulette and also enjoyed several card tricks. Snacks and drinks were also on hand and so was the fun. The residents enjoyed a lovely afternoon spending time together playing casino games and sharing a few laughs.

A little friendly competition!

We support our residents in continuing their hobbies and daily lifestyle preferences. There are plenty of opportunities to join new activities too and make friends along the way.
 
Many of our residents LOVE word games such as Crosswords, Codewords, Wordle etc rather than playing solo we invited them to play together using our Magic table in the lounge along with tea, coffee, biscuits and cake. Needless to say the ladies had a wonderful time. We even managed to squeeze in a couple of games of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire!

There was lots of singing, dancing, bubbles somehow the children even found time to stop, relax, chat with the residents and enjoy some refreshments.

With his sweet nature and soft fur, he made new friends with our lovely residents. He bought smiles to their faces, reminiscing about pets from the past and lots of biscuits given
